Literature
Fondazione Palazzo Albizzini, Burri: Contributi al Catalogo Sistematico, Città di Castello 1990, p. 260, no. 1120, illustrated in colour (catalogued as executed in 1975)
Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. The varnish has yellowed slightly in places with time, which is inherent to the artist's choice of media. Several small spots along the outermost edges, and between fragments in the centre of the composition, fluoresce under ultraviolet light. These are covered by the artist's varnish and appear to be original to the work's execution.
